Good Housekeeping and Pollution Prevention focuses efforts on ensuring that Town of Collierville facilities and operations are managed in ways that will minimize contamination to stormwater discharges emanating from these facilities.  Facilities may include, but are not limited to, Town owned or operated buildings, public works facilities, parks and recreation facilities, and infrastructure. Various operation and maintenance activities include street and bridge maintenance, road salt storage and application, vehicle and fleet maintenance, stormwater system maintenance, solid waste management, open space maintenance, emergency response, and pesticide and fertilizer applications.
